Addition of Search tag for event uplaods from low-latency sub-solar mass searches

Description of feature request

GstLAL and MBTA will run low-latency sub-solar mass searches in O4 which require a new search tag to differentiate events uploaded by these searches from the full bandwidth events i.e. AllSky. We propose using a new tag Search: SSM which hasn't been used previously by any pipelines for past searches. Currrently, both pipelines are using Search:LowMass eg. GstLAL uploads here.

Use cases

  • Differentiate between events uploaded from AllSky searches and SSM searches.
  • Apply different thresholds on the GWCelery/LL pipelines side to send out alerts based on the search tag alone.

Benefits

  • This will allow specifying different alerts threshold in the simplest way.

Drawbacks

Suggested solutions

We propose adding a new tag Search: SSM for uploads from the low-latency sub-solar mass searches on GraceDB.

To upload designs, you'll need to enable LFS and have an admin enable hashed storage. More information
